NowHere exists to respond to the under-addressed needs in humanitarian and philanthropic work—especially where traditional funding hesitates. We offer both financial and technical support to bold, community-rooted nonprofit efforts.

Philosophy

We specialize in trust-based philanthropy, executive coaching, and partnership grants. We support leaders as thought partners, not gatekeepers.

Approach

  • Responsive, risk-tolerant grantmaking

  • Board and executive coaching

  • Technical assistance (governance, systems, board development)

How we work

  • Flexible, relationship-first support

  • Community-driven solutions

  • Values-aligned partnerships

Values

Equality

We believe we are all small parts of a whole. What empowers and uplifts any aspect of the whole enriches the lives of us all.

Stewardship

The value of the natural world is not dependent on human enjoyment, and we have a duty to care for and protect our environment.

Integrity

We seek to partner with and support people and organizations whose work is grounded in core values of honesty, justice, compassion, consistency, and openness.

Diversity

Wisdom and merit are not the purview of any one walk of life.  We seek projects that connect communities to the benefit of us all.

Innovation

We support entrepreneurial thinking and approaches to have greater impact on social issues.

Broadening Knowledge

The NowHere Fund is committed to continuous learning about the field of philanthropy.  As we deepen our understanding of the tools, approaches, and possibilities of philanthropy we strengthen our sense of belonging in relation to a heritage of activism and giving.
